How exciting Candra - the next month before surgery will fly by. I left work at 12:30 today to meet my parents and kids at Roseville Toyota - my dad traded in my van and bought my mom a new car and now I have her car. It has half the miles on it that my van did and is in much better condition. First time I have driven a car since before Tristan was born and he will be 15 next week. We stopped by and saw my fertility doctor as we were near there - I just love that man - he is so cute and gives the best bear hugs - I got four of them while we were there. I have known him for 17 years and he was my doctor for me getting pregnant for all three kids. I seriously had a crush on him - even though every time I saw him I was in the stirrups. :ohmy: I am trying to do laundry, boil potatoes, and get ready for camping on Friday.

Yea I laughed about it alot the first few times I listend to it..........ya know......" the wonderful, caring surgeon who is very skilled and helpful".......will now slice you open!!! LOL. Kaiser propoghanda I called it!!

Of course I added the last part!! But after a couple of times listening to it..............I was so sold on it. Totally calmed my nerves cause that last week pre op is anxiety haven. I went back and for............I want it, I don't.........but that CD ah.............totally chilled me out. Seriously put me right to sleep too.

I had it playing during surgery on my ipod and I still listen to it when I can't sleep some night...........I do the affirmations now which works for anything.........

Reggie next weekend I have my 14 year old daughter. I could come but not sure about her.............I could try to find a friend for her ...........will there be other kids there?

Listening to it now!!!! I see i will need to listen again right before i go to bed.

The Sac group is the 4th Saturday - I think it's the 22nd this month so either Saturday works for me!

Yeah, heather - don't do the program if you have bad knees!

thanks Pam! Kinda hard to be flirty when your legs are in the stirrups - LOL

Thanks Maria! I think it just depends on your doctor - Liz said it doesn't matter that my first set of labs will be over 30 days but the next set and pregnancy test need to be timed - Pregnancy test two weeks prior and labs within 30 days! I had done my initial labs before i met with liz because Dr. fisher ordered them first. She said this is a competely different set.

Ok, so now I know what I'm going to listen to so i can go to sleep when my husband is playing those damn war zone games in surround sound on the other side of my bedroom wall at midnight!

so, Nicole, I guess the 4 hours of sleep our husbands need at night is Navy training!

Oh, and those seven jeans I had on yesterday, my husband says I'm not alloud to wear them out with him again - they have a saggy butt. Heather & Tamra - I have two pair of seven jeans in size 16 - I will save them for you - don't get it twisted - I'm still a 16 or 18 but these are stretchy.

Reggie, are you a 16 or 14?

Boy my band is not happy tonight - I had 7 wheat thins and a laughing cow wedge for Breakfast - no problem, then a Protein Drink and a small banana for lunch - little bit uncomfortable after eating the banana, tried a small amount of spaghetti noodles with butter and parmesan for dinner - ate half of it and gave it to my daughter, went out and watered flowers, came in a pbd the noodles. I guess that is why they say no Pasta. I just ate a slider food - small ice cream sandwich.

Need to get back to making my food for a few days ahead of time. Guess why this is a learning process.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
